Well, its here at last. Boy, 2007 was something of a trial! Lots of hard work, some emotional stuff, some soul searching, some self-questioning. Oh, some family stuff. A bit of everything really!
But here I am, coming out the other side, having survived with body, mind and soul more or less intact. I find I've had moments these holidays of looking at myself honestly, warts and all, and questioning what I see. I guess what I'm getting at is I feel the call to shed old behaviours that don't do justice to the person I want to become.
What I mean specifically, is just old personality traits, like occasional dishonesty, or excess distractions, that are dying and need to die away. Out with the old, in with the new!
I think that the more we can release, the more psychic debris we can confront honestly and release after gaining understanding, the more empowered we can be as we move into 2008 and toward 2012. I believe 2012 represents a major turning point for the world, and we all are called to prepare for this and be ready.
As citizens of the world I feel its important for everyone to look at their own life, and to start to look at the bigger picture as well, asking how do I fit in to this whole? What do I contribute, and how can I eliminate what is negative in my habit patterns?
Of course, these are big questions, but the investment they require is, I feel, well worth it! As I mentioned above, I feel the inner work I've been doing is going to stand me in good stead. I could sit back feeling knocked about by life, but thats a victim mentality. I want to feel invigorated and strong, and thats what I am and what I'm going to be.
Have a great 2008, everyone. May it be filled with truth, and blessings also.
God bless!

Computer wizard - and the benefits of Unwired
Hello all, and happy Christmas!
Well its been a busy last few days, what with wrapping up the year and setting up a new computer. This is my 2nd PC, but the first one I've ever had an internet connection for! So its been a learning curve but not too bad.
There's so much involved! What with getting the latest Windows, getting updates, installing anti virus.....the list goes on. But its all done, up and running now! Phew.
I must say it does feel great to be connected to the net at home, finally. The energy and money I spent getting around to internet cafes will get paid back pretty quick by having the net at home! (the costs of buying snacks on the run mounts up!!)
A word about my internet service. I bought an Unwired modem from department store Harvey Norman. I wanted a pre-paid broadband but didn't think one was available - but after a quick look at the Unwired display I realised I could get it! So I purchased a wireless modem for $189, which includes 7 days internet access.
Ihave to say it was easy to set up, the modem sits quietly in the corner on the window sill and I've had absolutely no problems so far. At certain times of the day the connection slows somewhat, but that hasn't been a major issue.
I highly recommend Unwired to anyone wanting a relatively quick and painless setup! It comes with free email and a very easy way to check your current balance and remaining download allowance. Very nice!!
OK - that's all from me, probably my last post for the year. God bless to all, take care and have a great holiday period!
Be safe, be well.
Kind regards

Update - my job
Since my last post on this topic - ie my job! - there've been some interesting developments...
First, I feel I've reached a point where I feel more empowered. Its been a real test of communication - and having the skills to deal with people without becoming a total wreck! ;)
When dealing with callers, I find that they are expecting the world - naturally enough - and that by detaching myself from caring too much from their outcomes, by just "handling" them in a more concise and stronger way, I find I'm avoiding a lot of suffering! Which is fantastic.
So yes, definitely improving. And my assignment here is due to end soon, and I find myself tossing up whether to stay or not.
Im something of a restless soul, I don't like to stay anywhere too long. My goal is to find something I can truly stick with, something that is good for me and satisfies my soul in some way. I guess that's the challenge for everybody isn't it!
Take care everyone
